Ken Just sent in my "swabbings for testing" I am a first son of a 1st son of a 1st son.... back documented 2 more times to Scotland. All before were named .....wait for it.... William...sheesh. Have the docs along with photos. They were all in the textile trade up to my father, both in Scotland as calico block printers, and later in New Jersey (the worst state in the union to get documents from) as color mixers and dyers. So we'll see I did the full blown 67 marker test, Hope all is well there in toasty AU.
